‘I always struggle in January’
Martine recently returned from a sun-soaked trip to Dubai with husband Jack and son Raffery.
She shared pictures of the family holiday online, revealing it was “just the tonic” she needed.
“A brief but much needed work/holiday trip for some sea, sand and rejuvenation was the just the tonic we needed, after what seemed like the longest, darkest, coldest January EVER for me!” she said.
“I always struggle a bit mentally in Jan for some reason but this one was extra blah!
“BUT sunshine memories were made!”
She then added: “Some self healing and reflection whilst looking at the sea, was so lovely to do…
